The Price Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Highly Recommended
"...Not to be missed right now is a small, exquisitely acted production of "The Price" at Pacific Resident Theatre. Miller's 1968 play, written during the agonizing days of the Vietnam War, concerns the disposition of the remains of a once-illustrious estate."
Stage and Cinema- Recommended
"...Arthur Miller’s The Price has always been a talky, introspective piece—more excavation than action—but when it works, it’s quietly devastating. At Pacific Resident Theatre, director Elina de Santos delivers a production that reminds you just how powerful Miller’s writing can be… at least for a while."
LA Splash- Highly Recommended
"...A review of THE PRICE would not be complete without a nod to Rich Rose's superb scenic design enhanced by Keilani Gleave's costumes, Leigh Allen's lighting, and Chris Moscatiello's sound. Everyone in the creative team has done a splendid job of bringing THE PRICE to life. This is a not-to-be-missed production."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...What begins as a simple estate sale in a cluttered attic becomes a careful excavation of memory, blame, and regret. The steady unfolding of confessions and resentments can grow heavy by the final stretch, and the play's relentless parsing of old wounds risks feeling more rumination than revelation. Yet director Elina de Santos's riveting production keeps it alive, avoiding bells and whistles to deliver Miller's intent: a dialogue-driven chamber piece."
LA Theatre Bites- Highly Recommended
"...In Arthur Miller's 1968 tour de force masterwork, THE PRICE, two brothers reunite in the attic of a New York brownstone to sort through their late father's possessions. What begins as a long overdue reunion becomes an unforgettable exploration of the value of success versus personal integrity as four indelible characters struggle to make sense of the past and create a future."
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...THE PRICE by Arthur Miller premiered on Broadway in 1968 and was nominated for two Tony Awards, for Best Play and Best Scenic Design. It is a timeless piece regarding the choices we make and the consequences we eventually face. It is about family dynamics, the price of furniture, and the price of one's decisions, taking place in the attic of a soon-to-be-demolished Manhattan brownstone where two brothers, estranged for decades, meet to dispose of their family’s property stored there. The resulting confrontation leads them to examine the events and qualities of their very different lives and the price each of them has had to pay to have the lives they now lead."
